Jean Blackmer's Profile

About

I have been an artist all my life; from doing pencil sketches as a child to my many mediums as an adult. I have painted with oils, acrylic and watercolor. Also tried stained glass (made three windows for home), wood carving, sculpture and pottery.

My latest venture is jewelry. It all started with a larimar cabuchon that I bought at a gem show. I decided I would learn to wire wrap it myself. In the process of learning the art of wire wrapping I discovered lampwork beads! I have bought several beads from Etsy lampwork artists, but of course, I now have my own torch and am creating my own beads. As an artist I prefer to be able to call my work all my own.
